A GENTLE VIEW OF LIFE

 Women of the world
Unite!
Fight
For your right
To be who you are
Or how far
Or high
You fly
You cry
Tears of sheer frustration
Elation
Comes seldom
But when its there
There are few who care
They simply stare
In disbelief
At your achievement
In disagreement
That women can
And will succeed
Yet all they need
Is recognition
Admission
That femininity
Is not a flaw
Its more
A gentle view of life
